6758. The Cranberries - So Cold in Ireland

-
https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/51VmAmP+ufL.jpg
From: No Need to Argue; Year: 1994; Genre: Alternative Rock/Celtic Rock
Kind of odd that I have not chosen a song from The Cranberries for a St. Patrick's Day pick before today; definitely need to remedy that one. They are one of the more emotionally heart wrenching bands from Ireland, mostly thanks to the amazing vocals of the late-great Dolores O'Riordan and her signature wail.

6753. Men at Work - Overkill

-
Image
From: Cargo ; Year: 1983; Genre: New Wave Having Men at Work on my brain today; I have not chosen one of their songs in quite some time, and only one to boot. This is one of their better hits that, even if you don't know it by title, you should immediately recognize it especially if you were around in the '80s and '90s. Although it has been in and out of popular culture over the years, so some younger individuals might know it from a television programme or such. One I do remember was in an episode of the T.V. series Scrubs where a character suffering from insomnia was having a hallucination of Colin Hay, who comically kept bothering him by singing an acoustic version of the song.   Hear Overkill on YouTube.         My song pick 1 year ago today: Three Dog Night - Time To Get Alone     My song pick 2 years ago today: Ray Stevens - The Rockin' Teenage Mummies   My song pick 3 years ago today: The Hollies - Carrie Anne   My song pick 4 year...

From: Keep it Live ; Year: 1982; Genre: Funk/Electronica A very busy Friday thus far, but still need something funky to pick. Here's a nice piece of synth-heavy funk from the early 1980s, which is a perfect fit.   Hear Keep it Live (On the K.I.L.) on YouTube.         My song pick 1 year ago today: Clyde McPhatter & The Drifters - Such a Night     My song pick 2 years ago today: Tesla - I Want To Take You Higher   My song pick 3 years ago today: Pantera - 13 Steps To Nowhere   My song pick 4 years ago today: Till Lindemann - Ich Hasse Kinder   My song pick 5 years ago today: Normaal - Deurdonderen   My song pick 6 years ago today: Bootsy Collins - World Wide Funk   My song pick 7 years ago today: Sam Cooke - Chain Gang My song pick 8 years ago today: King Crimson - Lizard My song pick 9 years ago today: Band of Horses - Lying Under Oak My song pick 10 years ago today: Emerson, Lake & Palmer - The Three Fates ...

3015-17. Emerson, Lake & Palmer - The Endless Enigma (Part 1)/Fugue/The Endless Enigma (Part 2)

-
Image
From: Trilogy ; Year: 1972; Genre: Progressive Rock/classical After listening to a bunch of ELP last night there were a few songs I had in mind for today's pick; this mini three-part magnum opus won out though. It's strange; even though this one is over 10 minutes of music, and highly technical at that, this one keeps you captivated for the entire length of the piece. Hear The Endless Enigma in its entirety on YouTube. My song pick one year ago today: Hawkwind - Lost Chances My song pick two years ago today: Elton John - Rocket Man (I Think It's Going to Be a Long, Long Time) My song pick three years ago today: Béla Bartók - BB 52 - String Quartet No. 1 in A minor My song pick four years ago today: Victor Wooten - Us 2 My song pick five years ago today: The Sons of the Pioneers - Cool Water My song pick six years ago today: Norman Greenbaum - Spirit in the Sky My song pick seven years ago today: Electric Light Orchestra (ELO) - Here is the News My ...

6756. Hall & Oates - Family Man

-
Image
From:  H 2 O ; Year: 1982; Genre: Rock/Soul Never knew that this track was a cover; always was under the impression that it was a Hall & Oates original. Mike Oldfield , who was also one of the song's writers, recorded and released it just prior. While it charted originally for Oldfield, it charted much better and in more territories for Hall & Oates, which is not surprising with them being such a giant musical powerhouse back in the 1980s.   Hear Family Man on YouTube.         My song pick 1 year ago today: Lighthouse - Man, Woman, Child     My song pick 2 years ago today: Cameo - Attitude   My song pick 3 years ago today: Electric Light Orchestra (ELO) - The Lights Go Down   My song pick 4 years ago today: Lawrence Gowan - The Dragon   My song pick 5 years ago today: Alice Cooper - I'm Eighteen   My song pick 6 years ago today: U.K. - Rendezvous 6:02   My song pick 7 years ago today: Parliament - Aqua Boogie (A ...

Open Letter To The Person(s) Who Filed a Copyright Infringement and to Any Readers it might Concern:

-
Today I received notice that a blog post, number 100 to be exact , allegedly infringed upon someone's copyright. I have not been given any other information other than just that. What is odd here is that no one Else's actual "intellectual property" is even on my blog; I am unsure as to what it is referring to because everything in the post was either written by me, therefore my intellectual property, or is linked to another website. I am assuming that they are either mad about my links to the YouTube video with the song, (which belongs to someone Else's Google YouTube account), or perhaps the album artwork, which was hosted by another website. SINCE NO INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY NOT BELONGING TO ME EXISTS IN THE POST IN QUESTION OR ON MY BLOGGER ACCOUNT , I fully intend to file a counter-claim. Whatever the case I have decided to temporarily removed the links to the song on YouTube from the post in question. To these copyright holders: I hope some day you w...
